I love Beijing! I spent some time studying at one of the University’s during the summer of 2005. What a wonderful city with great people! I hope you enjoy every moment. Let me know if you have questions, etc. Oh, and Qing Hua’s campus is gorgeous, it’s like the M.I.T. of China.

My husband and I leave on September 30th to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so.

As we have been planning for our adventure we have been updating a blog. http://www.nomadbackpackers.com We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.

Hi Matt, nice pics. Do you have any problems accessing WordPress.com dashboard over there? I lived in Shanghai for 5 months earlier this year and found certain ‘problems’ with access….as well as WP.com based blogs.

wow. you really have a great eye. i’m so impressed with the lighting in these shots. they came out so clear. it’s been 2 years now since i was last in beijing. the city changes so much these days. it looks really clean in your pictures. tee hee.
